The Quill Project Conventions podcast

#Podcasting Education #Oxford University

34:27

When she was 12 years old, Ava Smithing spiralled down a social media rabbit hole that nearly cost her life. A decade later, she discovered she wasn’t alone: Big Tech had hijacked childhood and adolescence for an entire generation. In this ten-part investigative podcast, Ava crosses the continent to uncover a hidden digital world. She’ll meet teens with millions of followers, young girls wrestling with compulsive porn use, and boys blackmailed by international cybercriminals lurking in their DMs. In the first episode of Left to Their Own Devices, Ava dives into the debate over technology addiction. The condition is absent from the official list of mental health disorders used by psychiatrists, but undeniable to those who live it. Inside an Internet and Technology Addicts Anonymous meeting, she hears firsthand from people who say their lives have been consumed by screens. And, she sits down with psychiatrist Dr. Anna Lembke – author of Dopamine Nation – who's watched her patient' struggles shift from substance abuse to compulsive relationships with social media, gaming, and online content. This podcast isn’t a self-help guide to digital wellness. It’s a survival story from the front lines of 21st century childhood.…

The Scottish Court of Session Project: Learning from Legal Archives with Jim Ambuske 52:06

52:06

In this episode, Grace talks to Dr Jim Ambuske, digital historian in residence at the Washington Library in Mount Vernon, Virginia, about his extensive work in digital legal history. Legal history is a daunting topic for many scholars, especially if they lack formal training in the law. But legal treatises, court records, and other remnants of historical legal systems can offer a broad and deep well of source material to the enterprising researcher. A constellation of digital humanities projects – the Quill Project among them – are attempting to make these sources more easily accessible, and to help historians explore the full range of insights that these records can offer. In this episode, Grace talks to Dr Jim Ambuske, digital historian in residence at the Washington Library in Mount Vernon, Virginia, about his extensive work in digital legal history.…

Grace Mallon talks to Paul Fisher, a practising barrister and academic lawyer, about his research into constitutional law in post-Soviet non-democracies. Constitutionalism is something we often associate with limited government and the protection of the rights of citizens. But democracies aren’t the only governments with constitutions. Since the Age of Revolutions, many of the world’s most repressive regimes have drafted and promulgated constitutions that claim to protect the rights of the people, preserve the separation of powers, and minimise the reach of the executive branch. In this episode Grace talks to Paul Fisher, a practising barrister and academic lawyer, about his research into constitutional law in post-Soviet non-democracies. Paul’s research is funded by an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Studentship offered through the UCL, Bloomsbury and East London ("UBEL") ESRC Doctoral Training Partnership.…
